Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 977: Three Days Left...

The phone rang a few times before being picked up.

Fu Yun’s eyes were cold as she gritted her teeth and said, "I need you to do me a favor, you can name your price."

The person on the other end said something, then Fu Yun began to describe the task she wanted done; the other party swiftly agreed, demanding ten million.

Fu Yun was displeased to hear the price; her eyebrows unconsciously knitted together. Such a small task and they dare to ask for so much, clearly they see her as a fool ripe for fleecing.

But she couldn’t use her own people, as all of them were sent by Huo Lin to supervise her; the moment she made any moves, Huo Lin would definitely know.

In the end, Fu Yun unwillingly agreed.

"How long will it take?"

"Three days."

"Three days?" Fu Yun’s voice rose involuntarily, "That’s too long!"

"Madam, this isn’t overseas, nor is it K port. Our movements will be restricted, it’s only right to spare our lives if we want to earn the money, right?"

Fu Yun gritted her teeth: "Fine, three days then, but remember, it must be done covertly, nobody should discover it."

"Don’t worry, Madam, we are skilled in this trade."

Fu Yun, reassured by the other side’s solemn promise, finally hung up the phone and deleted the call log. No sooner had she sighed in relief than there was a knock on the door.

Having just conspired, Fu Yun was startled by the noise, clutching her chest before going to open the door.

Opening the door, she saw it was Huo Lin. She sighed in relief, "Alin, it’s you. You scared me, come in."

Once Huo Lin was inside, Fu Yun asked, "What brings you here?"

Huo Lin cut straight to the point, "Did Uncle Three come to see you just now?"

Fu Yun paused for a moment and said annoyedly, "So what if he did? Is there a problem?"

Huo Lin frowned and asked, "What did he want from you?"

Fu Yun retorted sarcastically, "He came to check on my health, unlike you, always too busy to care about me."

Listening to his mother’s ironic tone, Huo Lin wasn’t annoyed at all and methodically said, "Uncle Three is not to be trusted. It’s best if you keep your distance from him."

Fu Yun became even angrier, protesting, "Are you trying to put me under house arrest? I am your mother, not a prisoner!"

"You’re overthinking it," Huo Lin, not wanting to provoke Fu Yun, didn’t argue and instead suggested, "You have nothing to do in Beijing, better you go back to K port."

To prevent any unforeseen incidents, Huo Lin thought it safer to send Fu Yun back to K port, also eliminating the chance for Fu Yun to harass Pei Ya and stir up unnecessary trouble.

Fu Yun nodded, "Fine, we’ll leave in three days."

Huo Lin thought he would have to argue with his mother for a while, but she agreed so promptly that he was caught off-guard.

"What’s with that expression? I’ve agreed to leave, why are you so surprised?" Fu Yun said with a harsh tone.

Ever since her son became disobedient, Fu Yun had not shown him a pleasant face.

Still, knowing the truth, Huo Lin wanted to protect Fu Yun. She was his biological mother, and their fates were tied together; he couldn’t just watch as Fu Yun courted disaster.

Now that Fu Yun had agreed to leave, his initial shock faded, and his expression normalized, "Alright, three days then. I’ll make the arrangements."

Actually, he would prefer she leaves immediately today, but obviously, his mother wasn’t keen on the idea.

Fu Yun hummed a response, then as if a thought struck her, she suggested, "I don’t want to take a plane, let’s go by sea, it’ll be a good opportunity to relax."

Huo Lin didn’t suspect a thing, agreeing readily as it would help her condition, "Alright, I will arrange that."

Only then did Fu Yun show a smile, "Okay then, you get back to your business, I need to rest a while."

"Alright."

Huo Lin stayed no longer and obediently closed the door behind him as he left.

Until Huo Lin’s figure disappeared from sight, Fu Yun’s smiling lips tightened into a straight line, her eyes enigmatic.

Just three days...

Thinking about how Pei Yao would obediently listen to her and stay by her side in three days, she let out a chuckling laugh.

She stared into the void, murmuring to herself with a face full of anger, entanglement, and guilt. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Yaoyao, I didn’t want to do this either, but Jiujiu is too disobedient."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him, I will keep watching over him continuously, you can go in peace."

"I didn’t protect you well before, but now I will protect Jiujiu well, so please don’t come looking for me, okay? I want to get a good sleep, it’s been a long time since I had a good rest."

Fu Yun raised her hand and touched the air: "You agree, right? Then it’s settled."

...

Li Hanzhou dropped Qiao Yun off at home. Usually, Qiao Yun would get out of the car coldly and indifferently, but this time, after unbuckling her seat belt, she turned her head to look at Li Hanzhou.

"Want to come in?"

Li Hanzhou was slightly startled, and countered: "Are you inviting me to your home?"

Qiao Yun hummed affirmatively.

Only then did Li Hanzhou realize that Qiao Yun’s attitude towards him seemed to have changed.

It had become much closer than before.

This made him very happy, but he did not agree to go in.

"No, an abrupt visit wouldn’t be good, I don’t want to ruin your family’s impression of me over such a small matter."

Qiao Yun thought to herself, as if her family had a good impression of Li Hanzhou ever.

"Alright, I’ll go inside then."

Qiao Yun didn’t insist and opened the car door to get out.

"Oh right." Li Hanzhou stopped Qiao Yun, telling her: "My grandmother is coming over today, and I’d like to invite your family for a meal, what do you think?"

Upon hearing that it was Qiao Yun’s birthday, old Mrs. Li decided that since the entire family was going, she couldn’t miss it and thus decided to come herself.

"Okay." Qiao Yun agreed without hesitation.

Because of her, the relationship between the Lu Family and the Li Family was not ordinary now. It made sense to meet the grandmother coming from afar.

Honestly, it wasn’t the first time meeting the parents, but this time Qiao Yun inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

"Go ahead." Li Hanzhou watched as Qiao Yun entered her home, then started his car and headed for the airport to pick up old Mrs. Li.

After reaching home, Qiao Yun discussed this with Su Mian, who naturally agreed, her agreement meaning that the whole family agreed.

After getting a response, Qiao Yun sent a message to Li Hanzhou and then went upstairs to turn on her computer.

Qiao Yun wanted to try using technology to track Jiang Jing’s whereabouts, she opened a tracking software, set the target person, thought for a moment, then set everyone around Jiang Jing as targets, and finally cast the net.

Now all she needed to do was wait.

Unless Jiang Jing hid in deep forests or places without internet, it would be impossible to not find him eventually.

...

The next day.

Xu Qiao packed her bags to return to Yuncheng, and upon hearing she was leaving, Huo Lin arranged for a driver to take her to the airport.

Xu Qiao was quite touched by this special treatment.

This showed that Jiang Jing wasn’t without significance in Huo Lin’s heart.
